Results from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at RHIC will be presented. The data from Phase-I of the BES program collected in Au+Au collisions at center-of- mass energies (√s_NN) of 7.7-39 GeV cover a wide range of baryon chemical potential μ_B (100–400 MeV) in the QCD phase diagram. Several results from the BES Phase-I related to “turn-off” of strongly interacting quark–gluon plasma (sQGP) signatures and signals of QCD phase boundary will be discussed. In addition to this, I'll present an outlook for the future BES Phase-II program and a possible fixed target program at STAR.
