•People-Whether famous or not, people are interested in learning about other people. •Places-Whether they are close by, far away, real, or imaginary, places can make compelling topics for speeches. •Objects and phenomena-Inanimate or animate nonhuman "things" can serve as the bases for great informative speeches. •Events-Noteworthy occurrences from the past, present, or future can supply good topics for an informative speech. •Processes-Whether the speaker demonstrates how to do something or explains how something is done, processes make great topics for informative speeches in the classroom as well as in training contexts. •Concepts-Speakers can explain or describe ideas, theories, or thoughts, turning them from abstract notions into something the audience understands concretely. •Issues-A speaker can increase understanding and awareness of problems or issues. However, speakers should be careful not to take a position on the issue or problem, propose solutions, or in any way attempt to influence the audience's attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors related to the issue because this would turn the informative speech into a persuasive presentation. •Plans and policies-An informative speaker can help an audience understand the important dimensions of a particular course of action. However, informative speakers must show a similar concern for this type of topic as they would for a speech about an issue: the speech must remain objective rather than subjective.
