I posted in the past, that I'm writing with an IEEE template for a conference. I want to add only one footnote on the first page. Look including image.
\footnote{Software Engineering 2017, Beijing, China\\Doctoral Symposium Paper}
But this footnote is commming up before my 1st site and has a footnumber.
I hope I didn't make it complicated.
Thanks for your efforts.
