About the ACM SIGCONF Template
The ACM conference proceedings template uses the acmart (ACM Article) document class, which is the unified template for all ACM publications. The sigconf option produces the standard two-column conference proceedings format used by SIGMOD, KDD, SIGCOMM, SOSP, SIGIR, WWW, and many other ACM conferences.
The acmart class supports multiple format options: sigconf for conference proceedings, manuscript for submission review, and other variants for journals and extended abstracts. Submissions typically use \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} for double-blind review.
ACM uses TAPS (The ACM Publishing System) for final publication. After acceptance, authors upload their LaTeX source to TAPS, which generates the final PDF and an HTML5 version. The system enforces consistent formatting across all ACM publications and produces the characteristic ACM Reference Format citations.
