What we’re about
PyMC Labs: The Bayesian Consultancy
PyMC is a probabilistic programming library for Python that allows users to fit Bayesian models using a variety of numerical methods, most notably Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI). Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems. Along with core model specification and fitting functionality, PyMC integrates with ArviZ for exploratory analysis of the results.
In this Meetup we will discuss topics related to PyMC, statistics, Python, Bayesian Analysis, to name a few.
We also will discuss use cases of PyMC in the business world.

•OnlineThe State Of Marketing Measurement In 2025
Online🎙️ Speakers: Thomas Wiecki, Niall Oulton, Tim McWilliams, Carlos Trujillo, Kemble Fletcher, Evan Wimpey | ⏰ Time: 16:00 UTC / 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM Berlin
Marketing measurement is evolving faster than most teams can keep up, and 2025 pushed every model, method, and assumption to its limits. With shifting budgets, new privacy pressures, and a market full of hype disguised as innovation, the real question is: what actually worked?
In this session, the PyMC Labs team opens the curtain on what we learned from working hands-on with some of the world’s leading brands, across MMM, CLV, forecasting, causal inference, generative AI, and fully custom Bayesian models. Instead of polished slides or scripted talking points, this roundtable is a guided, honest conversation about what this year revealed, and what 2026 will demand from marketing leaders.
Drawing from dozens of real client engagements, model builds, and experiments, you’ll see how our team approached this year’s hardest measurement problems, where the industry is heading, and how to think more clearly about marketing effectiveness in a chaotic environment.
You’ll learn:
- The biggest challenges brands faced in MMM, CLV, forecasting, and attribution in 2025.
- The breakthroughs that actually moved the needle, and the ones that didn’t.
- What turned out to be genuine measurement trends vs. overhyped noise.
- How Bayesian modeling helped solve problems traditional approaches couldn’t.
- The solutions, playbooks, and ideas our team used to drive meaningful decisions.
- What 2026 will require from marketing measurement, experimentation, and strategy.
Join us for a sharp, candid, and practitioner-led discussion that surfaces the lessons, surprises, and strategies shaping smarter marketing decisions, not theory, but what we’ve seen in the trenches.
