Further Future is a desert dance party that's like TED meets Burning Man — a hippy, future-focused festival hopped up on organic juice and ecstasy that costs $350 to attend (not including extra amenities).

The three-day festival, which went from April 29 to May 1, caters to the Silicon Valley crowd, with its tech installations, glamorous camping (aka glamping) accommodations, and abundant Wi-Fi.

This year's attendees included Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Alphabet; Stan Chudnovsky, head of product at Facebook Messenger; and Bob Pittman, the founder of MTV.

Here's what it's like to attend the so-called Burning Man for the 1%.
