OR "rejected" OR "updated" OR "...

Although Google Calendar doesn't allow you to create or modify arbitrary recurrence rules, the iCalendar specification which it uses and understands is quite robust in this regard.
Create an ICS file with a custom recurrence rule (RRULE). For example, for an all-day event on the first, third, and fifth Fridays of every month, starting 2 March 2012:
BEGIN:...

I've been able to do this with a Google Script like this. You can alter this to pinpoint the days you want to delete, etc.
function delete_events()
{
var fromDate = new Date(2013,0,1,0,0,0);
var toDate = new Date(2013,0,4,0,0,0);
var calendarName = 'My Calendar';
// delete from Jan 1 to end of Jan 4, 2013 (for month 0 = Jan, 1 = Feb...)

Google Calendar does not provide a way to merge the same event that appears in multiple calendars, and Google has been oblivious to requests to do so dating as far back as 2009 -
Sharing Calendars creates duplicate events - 2009-Jan, closed

This seems to be an undocumented feature, but you can use the authuser URL parameter.
So, you can create bookmarks that will take you directly to the calendar for a specific account, like so:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/?authuser=mycompanyaccount@example.com

I have had the same need for quite some time. And because I couldn't find anything suitable, I've built my own app.
It's called Calify. http://www.califyapp.com
The installer registers the app as the default program for handling *.ics files, so it works for both opening e-mail attachments and downloading event detail exports from webpages. It does not ...

This is likely because of he has explicitly denied sending notifications about events to him.
Ask the guest to make sure that they didn't turn off email notifications for new events. If they use Google Calendar, ask the guest to check their email notifications while on a computer.

UPDATE 2019/04/11
My old accounts doesn't show anymore the switch to Remainders option but accounts created this year, consumer and G Suite accounts show both, Reminders and Task Calendars. I didn't searched yet for an official help article or post about this, but if you can't wait, look at the G Suite Update alert blog, the Google Calendar Help Center and ...

"add to calendar some description tomorrow at 1PM"
then click on Create event.

UPDATE:
It's not possible.
The support page (also mentioned in my original answer) was updated, the option to go back to classic is no longer written there, so it's not an option.
(Thanks for the comment ale).
And according to this G Suite announcement:
In this phase, users will still have the option to opt out of the new UI until February 28th, 2018, ...

Resolution:

I based my solution to this off of the code to add Gmail as a mailto: handler, and adapted using information taken from Google Chrome's preferences file:

To use it, just go to Google Calendar, open Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+...

So you can grab the embed code from the html link in the share settings and splice them together manually. I needed this and just now experimented and it works.
There are four parts to a public calendar link.
So they are all like this

embed type + "?"
"src=" + unique string/name
"&ctz=" + timezone string (optional)

According to this thread on Google Forums, this is a known limitation and they have it on the slate for future implementation. I expect that the more people tell Google they want this, the more likely Google will implement it and sooner.

The best option I've found is to use Microsoft Flow with the Copy new events in Office 365 to Google Calendar and send a notification template.

This would seem to be an oversight on Google's part. Reminders don't appear to be searchable.
When you use the advanced search options, you can limit your search to a particular calendar (including "Other" calendars you've connected) or "All Calendars", but there's no option for "Reminders".
So it appears that there's currently no way to search for ...

I have had limited success with the following format:
Subject: My test event
Email body says:
This is my test event!
When: May 7, 9-10AM
Where: 123 Main Street, Berkeley, CA
Using the keyword "Location" instead of "Where" seems to work also.
In Google Calendar, this will populate the Subject, the body and the event time and the event location (The ...

I have noticed it may now take several days before changes are reflected. It looks like Google upped the time on their Calendar Help page from "every few hours" to "up to 8 hours" and now to "up to 12 hours."
Note: It might take up to 12 hours for changes to show in your Google Calendar.
