AB  - This proceedings article reviews recent experimental results on bulk properties and light/strange hadron production in heavy-ion collisions, presented at the Strangeness in Quark Matter 2026 conference. The discussion covers the QCD phase diagram, extraction of the temperature-dependent speed of sound, radial flow fluctuations probed by v_0(p_T), anisotropic flow in small collision systems, strange hadron yields across system sizes, nuclear modification factors, and collectivity signatures at high baryon density. Results from the STAR, CMS, ALICE, ATLAS, PHENIX, NA61/SHINE, and HADES collaborations are synthesized to highlight recent progress in understanding the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma and the nature of the QCD phase transition.
