Think about grouping the information based on the 7+/-2 rule of thumb. "7 +/- 2" is about how many items we can remember. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but chunking content into smaller groups is a good first step. http://www.simplypsychology.org/short-term-memory.html
Within that list of 30 items, how can you categorize or group the items into related details? Can you break it up into 4-6 different categories?
From there, I'd probably see if I could rewrite those categories into a narrative format, at least sometimes, rather than always a bullet point list.
When you do need to do bullets on the screen, check out Connie Malamed's alternatives to bullets. This gives you some visual alternatives.

Thanks Christy. I really like the idea of breaking them into categories. I will try that. Also some good ideas from Connie Malamed.
