The classic wooden lectern has become a thing of the past in the quickly changing fields of corporate communication and education. As 2025 approaches, the need for smooth, engaging, and polished presentations has made the Digital Podium a vital component of contemporary conferences and events. We at Infonics Technologies are experts in state-of-the-art visual infrastructure. We recognise that a podium is now your event’s command centre rather than just a place to hold notes. Here are some reasons why incorporating a digital podium is the best choice for your upcoming conference hall or venue.
What Exactly is a Digital Podium?
A Digital Podium (also known as a smart lectern or interactive podium) is an all-in-one presentation solution. Unlike a standard desk, it integrates a high-definition touch screen, a built-in PC, professional audio systems, and multiple connectivity ports into a single, sleek unit.
For a speaker, it means no more fumbling with HDMI cables or waiting for a technician to “fix the mic.” Everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Professionalism That Inspires Confidence
First impressions are everything. When a speaker walks up to a cluttered desk tangled with wires, the audience’s focus shifts from the message to the mess.
A digital podium provides a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Modern units, like those offered by Infonics, feature internal cable management and premium finishes that instantly elevate the “vibe” of a room. When your technology looks sophisticated, your brand looks sophisticated.
-
Unmatched Audience Engagement
The biggest challenge of modern presentations is keeping the audience’s attention. A digital podium solves this through interactivity:
- Touchscreen Annotation: Use a stylus to highlight key data or draw directly on your slides in real-time.
- Multimedia Fluidity: Switch between a PowerPoint, a 4K video, and a live web browser with a single tap.
- Constant Eye Contact: Because the presenter can see their notes and the presentation on the podium’s screen, they spend more time looking at the audience and less time looking back at the projector screen.
-
The “Plug-and-Play” Efficiency
Time is the most expensive commodity at any conference. Traditional setups often lose 5–10 minutes between speakers as they swap laptops or adjust resolutions.
With a Digital Podium, the transition is seamless. Most units are equipped with a built-in PC, meaning a speaker only needs to bring a USB drive or log into their cloud storage. The result? A tighter schedule and a more satisfied audience.
-
Superior Audio-Visual Integration
One of the hidden benefits of a digital podium is its role as a central hub. At Infonics, our podiums are designed to integrate perfectly with:
- LED Video Walls: Mirror your podium screen onto a massive backdrop for the entire hall to see.
- Professional Audio: Built-in gooseneck microphones ensure crystal-clear voice pick-up without the “feedback” hum of lower-quality setups.
- Motorized Adjustments: Modern motorized digital podiums allow speakers to adjust the height or screen tilt at the push of a button, ensuring comfort for every presenter.
Key Features to Look for in 2025
