  We consider the existence of symplectic and conformal symplectic
codimension-one foliations on closed manifolds of dimension at least 5. Our
main theorem, based on a recent result by Bertelson-Meigniez, states that in
dimension at least 7 any almost contact structure is homotopic to a conformal
symplectic foliation. In dimension 5 we construct explicit conformal symplectic
foliations on every closed, simply-connected, almost contact manifold, as well
as honest symplectic foliations on a large subset of them. Lastly, via
round-connected sums, we obtain, on closed manifolds, examples of conformal
symplectic foliations which admit a linear deformation to contact structures.
