I have a custom post type for events, and I wish to remove the Publish/Visibility options from the side as they are not relevant to the user.
Is there a way to do so?

- it will always be public and has dates the event will occur on set date ranges so no need to change the publish date either. – Keith Commented Dec 21, 2012 at 2:10

Reset to default 10WordPress provides the remove_meta_box() function exactly for this purpose:
add_action( 'admin_menu', function () {
remove_meta_box( 'submitdiv', 'events', 'side' );
} );
The second parameter, events, will need to be replaced with the name of your custom post type.
