[Tex/LaTex] I do not get a title

Question

I am using a template from the link:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamerposter

It does not show a title, the example.tex has a \title, but it does not appear on the poster.

Please tell me how to correct this problem.

Answer 1

We will be only supplying the metadata when we type \title{...} etc. But to display them one should issue a \maketitle command. Putting \maketitle immediately after the \begin{frame} displays a title.

Obligatory code:

\documentclass[final]{beamer}
  \mode<presentation>
  {
% you can chose your theme here:
\usetheme{Berlin}
