The Heart Home conference is set for Oct. 1-3 at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston.

The Heart Home conference will focus on the convergence of home design, technology and entrepreneurship offering fresh perspectives and discoveries from those at the forefront of what’s next in home décor and design.

“With the explosion of digital media, consumers are closer than ever to an amazing array of ideas and inspiration from so many exciting sources,” said Christiane Lemieux, executive creative director of Wayfair. “The home design world is an ever-changing eco-system of so many brilliant entrepreneurs and influencers. Wayfair is launching Heart Home as a nexus for innovation and discovery between brands, bloggers, designers and other influencers. The goal is to spark new ideas, foster collaboration and promote the growth of the ever-evolving community that closely connects consumers to home.”

Heart Home will feature presentations and educational sessions with some of the most respected and accomplished names in home. Maxwell Ryan, founder of ApartmentTherapy.com and its sister site TheKitchn.com, will keynote the event that will bring together lifestyle experts and influencers for creative collaboration, education and inspiration.

“I am delighted to join Heart Home in Boston this fall,” said Ryan. “From my early days traveling around New York City as an apartment therapist to the creation of ApartmentTherapy.com and TheKitchn.com, we have been at the forefront of an incredible evolution in the home space. Driven by technology and entrepreneurism, beautiful design – and ‘the good life’ – is more accessible than ever. Heart Home will be a magnificent forum for sparking discussion and ideas around what is next.”

Attendance is limited to 250. Registration and additional information is available online.
