About Our Lecterns & Podiums

Floor standing, folding and desktop lecterns in a range of modern and traditional styles are ideal for speakers making presentations in all locations. We stock a wide range of lecterns and podiums that are suitable for use at conferences, meeting rooms, events, lecture theatres, churches, schools, and in other educational settings. As well as acting as a platform to hold documents and presentation materials, a lectern can be used for laptops and other AV equipment.

Our range of floor-standing and desktop lecterns is ideal for auditoriums, classrooms, conference rooms, stages, seminar rooms, lecture theatres. You will also find height-adjustable podiums as well as mobile ones for quick and easy repositioning. Lecterns are also used as pulpits in churches for scripture readings or sermons.

Choosing A Lectern Type

Portable or permanent - Will you need to fold up and transport your lectern, perhaps to a sales presentation or trade show? Then have a look at the highly portable Aero Lectern, which is easily transportable and portable. At the other end of the scale, you have acrylic lecterns, which, once assembled, remain in situ.

Material lecterns are available in wood, metal or stylish modern Acrylic. The choice is really down to personal preference and what sort of design fits in with your venue. Wooden lecterns tend to have a more traditional look and are popular with educational establishments and for use as church lecterns. Hand-welded metal lecterns are durable with a stylish modern design. Acrylic lecterns fit into many different locations, and many of them can be customized with your branding and add a very professional look to any presentation.

Branding - some lecterns have the option to be branded. This could either be permanent corporate branding or a design where the branded panel can be changed depending on the presenter. If you want a branded option tick the “graphics” option in the refine area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a lectern?

A lectern or podium is an important tool when giving readings or other presentations. They often include a sloping top that is used to hold a book or other documents, to assist a reader, or presenter when stood up. They also provide a point of focus for the audience and can help increase the legitimacy of the speaker. Lecterns are commonly used in business for conferences and meetings, in churches and other religious establishments, and in educational institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities.

Which style of lectern is best for my space or venue?

We have a range of lectern styles to suit various interiors, decors, and purposes. Traditional and simple wooden lecterns represent an elegant solution for spaces such as churches and schools, where a sense of solidity and sophistication is required. More modern steel and acrylic designs are ideal for more minimalist designed-conscious spaces such as in corporate and business environments, where these contemporary designs can be used to suggest innovation and cutting-edge technology.

Can I use a lectern with a laptop and AV equipment?

Many speakers want to include digital multimedia elements in their presentations, such as using a laptop or tablet to read notes and for showing slideshows and video. As such, we offer lecterns that include shelves and storage space for placing equipment such as computers, audio amplifiers, and projectors. Some of our lecterns also incorporate features such as internal cable-management systems and holes for routing cables, to ensure a neat wire-free appearance. We also offer optional microphone mounts for some lecterns, for an integrated and smart look.

Do you offer customised and branded lecterns?

At Discount Displays, we have an in-house printing and design studio, which means we can offer superb quality custom-printed graphics and bespoke branding at a very affordable price. A number of our lectern and podium designs can be printed with your company’s or institution’s name or logo. A custom branded lectern can elevate the professionalism of presentations at conferences or help reinforce the identity of your school or church.

Do your lecterns come with a warranty?

All of our lecterns are protected by a guarantee of at least 1 year, with many designs offering a warranty of 5 years or even a lifetime workmanship guarantee!
