Conference & Civic Center Podiums

For convention, conference & civic centers

Podiums sized for the big room and the twelve breakouts next to it.

A convention or civic center needs one podium that holds its own on the keynote stage and a dozen more that match in the breakout rooms. The lecterns on this page cover both ends: contemporary aluminum and hardwood pieces for the main hall, acrylic and metal truss lecterns for the meeting rooms, sound lecterns for the civic meeting in a room with no house AV, and LCD lecterns for the corporate client who wants a logo on the front panel.

What convention, conference and civic centers order most:

  • The VH1 Deluxe aluminum podium, the K-2 and the Counselor hardwood lectern for the main stage
  • The 401S and the Eclipse acrylic lecterns, bought in sets for breakout rooms
  • Metal truss lecterns in black for expo halls and industrial-look spaces
  • The ZED sound lectern and the K-5 LCD lectern for civic meetings and corporate events

Every order ships free in the lower 48. Send the venue logo as a vector file and we'll apply it and send a proof before production. Ask for one written quote with the room count and we'll price the fleet as a single order.

Common questions

What podium do conference centers use on the main stage?
The VH1 and VH1 Deluxe aluminum podiums, the K-2 and the Counselor hardwood lectern are the usual main-stage picks. Venues that host a lot of corporate work add the K-5 LCD lectern so the client's logo shows on the front panel.
What do you recommend for breakout rooms?
A matching set of acrylic lecterns like the 401S or the Eclipse, or metal truss lecterns for a more industrial look. Ask for a written quote with the room count and we'll price the set as one order.
Do you have sound lecterns for rooms without house AV?
Yes. The ZED and other sound lecterns have built-in amplification and wireless mic options, which covers a civic meeting held in a room the AV contractor hasn't patched.
Can the podium carry the venue's logo?
Yes. Applied logos are available on most acrylic, aluminum and hardwood models. Send a vector file (.eps, .ai or .pdf) and we'll send a proof before production.
How does a city-owned civic center purchase?
Request a written quote, route it through city purchasing, and send the purchase order when it clears. We supply a W-9 on request and apply tax-exempt certificates to the order.
