The key takeaways from the document are the formatting instructions for authors preparing papers for IEEE conferences, including page layout, font styles, section headings, figures/tables, and references.

Papers must be in two column format, use A4 page size with specific margins, 10pt font for body text, and follow other layout guidelines provided in the sample paper.

Three levels of headings are used - level-1 in Small Caps centered, level-2 in Italic left-justified, and level-3 indented in Italic with colon. They must be formatted as described in the document.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
The version of this template is V2. Most of the formatting
instructions in this document have been compiled by Causal
Productions from the IEEE LaTeX style files. Causal
Productions offers both A4 templates and US Letter templates
for LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The LaTeX templates depend
on the official IEEEtran.cls and IEEEtran.bst files, whereas
the Microsoft Word templates are self-contained. Causal
Productions has used its best efforts to ensure that the
templates have the same appearance.
Causal Productions permits the distribution and revision of
these templates on the condition that Causal Productions is
credited in the revised template as follows: “original version
of this template was provided by courtesy of Causal
Productions (www.causalproductions.com)”.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The heading of the Acknowledgment section and the
References section must not be numbered.
Causal Productions wishes to acknowledge Michael Shell
and other contributors for developing and maintaining the
IEEE LaTeX style files which have been used in the
preparation of this template. To see the list of contributors,
please refer to the top of file IEEETran.cls in the IEEE LaTeX
distribution.
