Stages for Guest Speakers
Stages for Guest Speakers and Presentations
Stages Plus has the equipment to highlight your guest speaker, visiting pastor, speechmaker, or toastmaster in style. Great for graduation and award ceremonies, conventions, panels, and more, our speaking stages come in custom sizes to put your presenter in the best light.
What stage size is best for a guest speaker?
Your stage size will depend on your venue — accurate measurements are important. For one person standing behind a podium, an 8×8’ stage or 8×12’ stage will do just fine. If you are planning to have multiple speakers or a panel of speakers on the stage, consider a 12×16’ or 16×20’ stage.
Speaking stages are usually around 24” tall, but we can make your stage anywhere between 4” and 54” high. (Putting your speaker head and shoulders above the crowd? Consider some guard rails around the back and/or sides of the stage!)
What stage accessories are good for a guest speaker?
A guest speaker looks his or her best behind a podium — we have acrylic and wood podiums and lecterns. We have folding tables and chairs for panel presentations. Low-nap gray carpet can put the finishing touch on a professional appearance.
We have multiple sets of steps with and without handrails to get your guest presenters on and off the stage safely too!
Will I need a sound system for my guest speaker?
In a large conference room or an outdoor venue, you may wish to add a microphone and/or PA system for your presenter. We can supply wired and wireless microphone options and speaker and amplifier PA systems suitable for up to 250 people. We can supply mixers and sound options for bands, too!
Will I need lighting for my guest speaker?
Spice up your presentation with wireless LED accent uplights to add a color wash to the background, or really get your presenter in the spotlight with a truss system and LED lights.
Want to go the extra mile? Try a gobo projector and custom gobo with your speaker’s name or your company logo!
