I have been put in charge of running some training seminars for co-workers from other departments. These training courses will be 2 hours long for 10-30 people and will be put on by either myself or one of my co-workers from my department.
Speaking with the organizer of the meetings it has been made clear that my performance is being judged on the "successfulness" of the courses that I put on. One metric for this is a peer review and Attendance numbers. It has also been made clear that "no funds are available".
From my experience going to any third party training courses, Water/coffee is always made available to attendees.
Is it being unfair/unethical to the other trainers if I supply cold water/coffee out of my own pocket, to try and boost my own attendance numbers?

I would concentrate my efforts on having interesting topics that are useful to the target audience and then presenting them both professionally and well.

Your peer review will most likely take no account of the free food you provide.
I have no idea how and if the availability of free food will balance with a poor presentation and a poor presenter. And since the free food in question is just water and coffee and they can get water from the water cooler and coffee from the kitchen, I believe that the impact of the free food you offer is not going to be more than marginal.
I used to cheat at cards. Not ethical at all, but the other players let me cheat to my heart's content because I was such a lousy cheater that I would have been better off not cheating :)

Well, you don't know if water and/or coffee will be available other than from the OP. Maybe there is no kitchen where the seminars are held, etc.

I know that if there were a bunch of seminars available and only one had coffee that would be a strong motivator for me. It is embarassing getting bored to sleep.
