You can utilize parametrized output with formatting, for example:
<apex:outputText id="Connections" value="{0, number, integer}">
<apex:param value="{!Event__c.Total_Connections__c}" />
</apex:outputText>
For more detail about all the formatting options, check Java's MessageFormat, the same formatting is used for <apex:outputText>
