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! At Discount Displays, we have over 35 years of experience in providing high-quality printing services and equipment to UK businesses, and all our lecterns are from trusted manufacturers and built to last.

Is the height of the lectern adjustable?

Are your lecterns portable and transportable?

Our range of lecterns includes various wheeled options, which allow easily moving of the lectern to a different position on stage or to another room or location. Many of our lecterns and speaker’s stands are also lightweight, meaning they can be easily transported to different events and between venues.
