Wood finishes are one of the most common and versatile finishes as they tend to match most rooms and are considered a standard for conference halls and auditoriums. AVinED uses plastic and thermally fused melamine laminate to create a variety of wood finishes, in addition to more contemporary colors, such as grays and blacks. With such a diverse selection, it is a guarantee that we can create a podium that looks great and delivers regardless of your location.

Features To Look For in Multimedia Podiums
Multimedia podiums, sometimes referred to as smart lecterns, are designed for educators to excel in the classroom.
