Thursday evening marks the final night of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Starting around 5 p.m., Democratic delegates and dignitaries will gather at the Time Warner Cable Arena for another round of presentations, culminating in acceptance speeches by Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama.
Last night's lineup featured U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and former President Bill Clinton, who delivered a full-throated endorsement of President Obama.
DNC organizers announced on Wednesday that tonight's proceedings would be held indoors—rather than at Bank of America Stadium as orginally planned—due to stormy weather in the forecast.
Below is the full rundown of DNC speakers and events scheduled for Thursday. Local network affiliates—including WUSA 9 and ABC 7—will carry convention coverage beginning at 10 p.m., while cable news channels will feature many of the evening's earlier presentations.
