The Mayors will form a "power panel", which will present the results of their cities' "TechAction Town Hall Meetings" - the series of executive gatherings organized by CATA in conjunction with KPMG and Industry Canada. The TechAction Town Hall Meetings have produced a blueprint for each city, on how to accelerate the adoption of high technology and innovation. These Action Plans will be melded together, according to a nation-wide Ipsos Survey template, to create "Canada's Advanced Technology Business Plan". Audience participation in the form of interactive voting, on-the-spot decision-taking, and a respected Moderator make it an ideal tool to help the Government harness the power of the industrial economy.
