Last week we mentioned that DoubleDutch built us a custom check-in app for ILM East. After a weekend building badges in photoshop, I’m happy to say that the app is conference ready.

All the awards, badges and offers are outlined below. They’re admittedly similar to Foursquare’s style, but this is our first crack at it and it will evolve to take a voice of its own.

The idea is also to complement Foursquare by going deeper into one time-specific event. We have different conference areas, rooms and even sessions to check into.

Activity can be shared via Facebook and Twitter, and used as a conduit to connect with friends and associates around the conference. And, of course, real offers and rewards are on the table (see below).

The app will also live on after ILM East. We’ve constructed and branded it to adapt to our future conferences. So there’s no worry of yet another event-specific app that languishes in your app library.

So download it and check in early and often. We have all the sessions loaded up and I’ve established places around the conference grounds to check in to.

This joins our longstanding BIA/Kelsey app where you can see the conference agenda and blog coverage from inside and outside the conference walls. Download them both and let us know what you think.

And if you’re a Foursquare user, naturally keep using it to check in to the hotel, conference and all the cool stuff around downtown Boston.
