I'm totally with Eric on this one. I've been on both sides of the issue. I like to think of myself as relatively transparent, but getting into gory details in a (relatively) short public talk is hard -- and there's the added challenge of no alcohol.
The absolute best startup conversations I've EVER had are small group dinners with peers. Most of the really useful insights I've learned have been through those smaller gatherings where there is no agenda, no structure. I think of it as a support group for startup founders constructed on an ad-hoc basis.
