Portable Podium Stands for Sale

A lectern is the stand a speaker places notes or a laptop on — it is the physical furniture piece. A podium, strictly speaking, is the raised platform a speaker stands upon. However, in common usage — especially in the furniture and AV industry — "podium" and "lectern" are used interchangeably to refer to the freestanding presenter stand.

A podium stand is commonly referred to as a lectern, presenter station, speaker stand, or AV lectern. In technology-integrated environments, you may also hear it called a multimedia lectern or AV presentation station. NOVA Solutions offers all these configurations under their podium and AV lectern product lines.
