\section{Introduction}
Here is an itemised list:
\begin{itemize}
\item The first item.
\item The second item.
\item The third item.
\end{itemize}
\section{Fundamental Theorem of Calculus}
If $f$ is continuous on the closed interval $[a,b]$ and $F$ is the indefinite integral of $f$ on $[a,b]$, then
\begin{equation}
\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x = F(b)-F(a).
\end{equation}
\section{Conclusion}
This is a great poster format!

% Comment out the line below out to hide logo
\hfill\bottomboxlogo{img/logo.eps} % \hfill shifts the logo across so it meets the right hand side margin
% Note that \bottomboxlogo takes an optional width argument. It defaults to the following:
% \hfill\bottomboxlogo[width=\textwidth]{<path_to_image_file>}
% where \textwidth is actually the width of a minipage which is defined in the \bottombox command of
% betterportaitposter.cls It's a standard \includegraphics command in there, so easy to change if
% you need to add a border etc.
