• Table top lecterns come in various types, so consider not only present needs but future needs. For a growing business with a traveling sales force, portability ranks high. A business with several presentation rooms might need a lighter model, while a single conference room should have a more elaborate model.
• When looking at table top podiums, know the size of your audience and room. Models increase in price based on options because larger speakers and amplification produce better results.
