30 minutes is only long enough to get across a broad concept or probably, explore in detail, one specific area.
You have to decide if your slides will just simply emphasis your words... or can they exist without your words. If so, they will be a lot more detailed, and that can take away from your presentation. The best presentations have a bit of passion and opinion in them. And think about the narrative... what's story are you trying to tell.
