raised platform
Dais for speakers
A raised platform is a flat, elevated surface, typically constructed for a specific purpose.
Speakers address crowds from raised platforms, performers use them as stages, and officials stand on them for ceremonies.
The term describes the structure literally—a platform that sits higher than the surrounding area: The award winners stood on a raised platform at the front of the hall.
