[Tex/LaTex] Reducing the space between the \title and the first line of the the abstract in IEEEtran

ieeetranspacingtitles

I am trying to reduce the space between the title and the abstract (the paper have no authors). IEEETran style is being used.
I tried the \vspace command but it didn't work, any ideas, recommendations?

Just to be clear I have something like this:

\documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}
\begin{document}
\title{Some Title}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
This is for test text...
\end{abstract}
\end{document}

I want to reduce the vertical space between "Some Title" and "This is…."

As has been pointed out in the comments, changing the appearance of a journal template is discouraged. A journal wants to have a consistent look.

If you are absolutely sure you want to change something, you can do some kind of a hack (Dr. Christian Hupfer pointed it out). In the example below, i introduced some positive space to get the text away from the title; using negative space you get the text closer to the title.

\documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}
\title{Some Title\vspace{6em}}
\author{}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
    \blindtext
\end{abstract}
\blindtext[2]
\end{document}
