Correction: A previous version of this article misstated an organization that cohosted the event. The event was hosted by National Journal, Atlantic, and Microsoft.

Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Clinton, moderated a National Journal, Atlantic, and Microsoft event at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday. The event, "Conversations with the Next Generation," brought in actors, CEOs, students, a university president — anyone with a major stake in engaging the current youth electorate — to discuss the best method for youth political outreach.

Clinton hosted a similar panel during the Republican National Convention last week.
