Some of the date field connections allow you to configure the date format using PHP date() function. You can learn more from the WordPress formatting date and time article.

Event Date and Time​

Outputs an event's date and time e.g. August 1st @ 12:00 am - 9:00 am UTC+0. All day events return only the date e.g. August 1st.
