Hi,

I have googled, looked in the pragma site etc for a template (style)
of an a0 poster. Doing this with latex is a bit of a nightmare and the
result is not very appealing.
I am looking for something in the size of a0 with embedded boxes with
plots, equations etc. If such a file existed and was to be found
somewhere I'd be grateful if you gave me a link.

thanks

You could use Layers, Overlays, backgrounds etc.

\definelayer
  [posterbox]
  [width=\paperwidth,
   height=\paperheight]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=posterbox]

\setupbodyfont[50pt]

\starttext

\startstandardmakeup

\setlayerframed
  [posterbox]
  [x=10cm,y=7cm]
  [width=40cm,align=right]
  {\input knuth\par}

\setlayerframed
  [posterbox]
  [x=23cm,y=67cm]
